I started out with a "Walmart Bag". Think I paid $38 bucks for a roller duffle. it was bascially one big canvas blend with one big zipper.
it worked good for a couple years....
but taking it on the dive boat and getting it soaked with salt water from being under the seat and having wet dive gear in it quickly took it's toll....
It ripped apart on the baggage caurosel at Atlanta International a few years ago.... scattered my dive gear everywhere....
The stitching in the bag just couldn't handle the extra weight of the dive gear, the soaking, etc... the zipper wasn't heavy duty enough for dive gear either.
I've found that buying a bag that is built heavy duty is worth it now and risking losing your dive gear to baggage handlers is also not worth skimping on cheap dive bags either....
Do you really think any bag for sale at Wally-world for $30 bucks is stitched heavey-duty or have a heavy-duty zipper in it?
